For our lab, our question was: how many more blue M&M's were there then green M&M's. Our hypothesis was that there were more blue than green M&M's. The procedure we took in finding this information was, we sorted the M&M's into their color groups and counted how many their were of each then we recorded our data on a table. We then created a graph which shows that there were more blue colored M&M's in each bag than green. In conclusion, our hypothesis was correct there were more blue colored than green colored M&M's in a bag of M&M's.
